Morning all :hello:

Yay...it's Fish Friday again! :hungry::cheers:
MrsD has a hairdresser's appointment at 10.30. She should be out by 11.15. I'll have a stroll down to the village to meet her, do a bit of shopping then go for lunch. Got to buy a new telephone/answering machine for our landline. Never did like the old one and it's playing up. Time to change it.

:hello: Good morning all, it looks a tad damp outside, I'm sat in the front of the lounge, my Good Lady is asleep in bed in the back of the lounge and we've only the the kitchen light on, the carers not here yet, shopping and chores to do today.

Good morning folks,
Grey and damp out, a fair bit of rain last night judging by the puddle in the road that doubles as a rain gauge. Daughter now has a dehumidifier in her flat, she does open the windows for ventilation but there are signs of mould on the walls, hopefully the dehumidifier will help with keep on top of it. I noticed that there’s a “ clothes drying “ setting and having read up on it, it can be quite effective.
Onwards and upwards,
Have a peaceful day folks ☔️☕️👍

Morning folks ^_^ soggy old day here in Brora, glad i had a ride yesterday as today is cancelled. When the rain stops i'll walk up the beach and into town as my electric kettle has expired. I have one of those cheery bright red camping kettles that you put on the gas but seems to take for ever to boil. The last time i used it was about 8yrs ago at Melon Udrigle ^_^

Good morning. Heavy rain since 4.00am though as forecast eased off at 8.00. 95% chance till 2.00pm.

Ride plans abandoned. I'll try to grab an hour if it stops.

Aldi dash planned in a while. Looking forward to my G&T this evening........that's how much there is to do today!!

If any are interested this almost exactly mirrors my experience of the Fred this year except no real mention of two hours incessant rain. It was dry on Hardknott for me, thank the Lord, as descending that in the wet would be even more terrifying.

Not keen on the bloke without the beard.

Right - I'm up
lawn is now covered with leaves so that'll have to be blown off with the leaf blower

and I get jabbed this afternoon - must check the time
also have to check the weather and see if that is a bike or car job
and shopping needs to be done - probably too much for a bike - so the car will be used

busy busy busy

Good morning, world!

The day has dawned fairly bright here on Planet Thanet, but it looks rather breezy.

Today, I shall have another go at buying some logs, and I shall also make a foray into the loft, to get some cases down. (We shortly embark upon a trip to glorious Devon).

Stay safe, everyone.
It might be glorious but take care......there are some seriously dodgy people living there (so I am told :rolleyes:)

that should please the neighbours ^_^
Personally I think they are a good thing but they do divide opinions.
Our gardener uses a petrol one every 2 weeks. Very loud** but only lasts 15 minutes and does the job.
**the blower Classic, not the gardener.
